The HoF is littered with players that had checkered pasts. He's simply saying, based on what he did on the field, he deserves it. And he does. He doesn't care about sugar-coating it and placating people. That's the way he's always been, and for me, that's fine. 

People can be upset about what he said, that's their right. I'm just not and i feel that he is one of the two most deserving to go in this year. He went out there every time, did everything he humanly could and just wanted to win. He said in the interview it's not just a Bengals thing. It's about all of it; RoH, HoF and it includes the Pats too--whatever that's about.

"Did I not play? And don’t make this a Cincinnati thing, because I’m about to get on the Pats’ ass, too. It’s coming. I’m coming for it all. Give it to me while I’m breathing. If anybody wants to disagree, just go look at the f—ing numbers and have a Coke and smile."

It doesn't hurt my feelings, I just don't feel that's the way to go about it. Had he just dumped on the front office, I would be totally onboard. To be honest, the thing that did bother me the most was the remarks about his former teammates. You just shouldn't do that. I agree about everything you say about Corey here.....but so did Jon Kitna. He just wasn't nearly as physically gifted. So why throw shade at him? 

Now, after last night, we have clarification on what he meant and it isn't as bad as he made it sound initially. I guess he just needs to breathe a little and think about how he puts things. I think if this conversation is still being had in a couple of years, his beef is legit.
